Once you hit 60Â pages in this book you'll realise that not only do you have a gem of a book, but that it compares favourably with any other fantasy you've read. The other thing is that from my sources IÂ am certain that the series will be complete, not one that varies widely in quality. Best fantasy IÂ have read in years. Better than Hobb, most Feist, and certainly better than Goodkind.
